Hello folks and welcome to my date on the official blog tour for 'Dumplin' by Julie Murphy. In today's post you will get to find out a little about the book, and also included is a very special video which was created to go along with the launch of this exciting new book.

For fans of John Green and Rainbow Rowell comes this powerful novel with
the most fearless heroine-self-proclaimed fat girl Willowdean
Dickson-from Julie Murphy, the acclaimed author of Side Effects May
Vary. With starry Texas nights, red candy suckers, Dolly Parton songs,
and a wildly unforgettable heroine-Dumplin' is guaranteed to steal your
heart. Dubbed "Dumplin'" by her former beauty queen mom, Willowdean has
always been at home in her own skin. Her thoughts on having the
ultimate bikini body? Put a bikini on your body. With her
all-American-beauty best friend, Ellen, by her side, things have always
worked ...until Will takes a job at Harpy's, the local fast-food joint.
There she meets Private School Bo, a hot former jock. Will isn't
surprised to find herself attracted to Bo. But she is surprised when he
seems to like her back. Instead of finding new heights of self-assurance
in her relationship with Bo, Will starts to doubt herself. So she sets
out to take back her confidence by doing the most horrifying thing she
can imagine: entering the Miss Teen Blue Bonnet Pageant-along with
several other unlikely candidates-to show the world that she deserves to
be up there as much as any twiggy girl does. Along the way, she'll
shock the hell out of Clover City-and maybe herself most of all.

To finish this post is is an exciting video for all you Dumplin' fans to get into.
